Description

The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News.

BAKER 'STKEE3* While here the Premier was waited upon by a delegation from 4he South Kootenay Board of Trade- consisting of R. E. Lemon, president ; Geo. A. Bige- low, secretary-treasurer ; /and. John Houston, and talked almost- to death. The delegation had..two sit tings with the Premier and are more than satisfied with, the result of their interviews. Ttic Squatters Case. The case of the squatters who have erected houses on government lots in defiance of warnings from the Land Commissioner's office, was first taken up. There are six or seven of these cases and for the past week they have been on the. ragged edge, by reason of a command from the Land Commissioner's office that they " move off the earth," When a man wished to build a house two years or so ago he .squatted on the best looking government lot he could find and went ahead with his improvements, being always fortunate enough to have the lot knocked down to him at the government auction which follow.ed. Thus'in a."way a precedent was established which got several Nelson men in a corner this summer. In August la^t year a number of applications were made at the.Gold.Commissioners office for permission to squat on government lots. The request was communicated to the office of the Lands and .works department at Victoria, and was answered in most unmistakable terms that the government could not consent to any such practice. Despite this those desiring lots squatted, and in several instances erected costly residences. The officers of the Board of trade sought to extricate them from their difficulty and also to secure a sale of the government lots within the townsite. It required all the persuasive eloquence of the delegation to touch the Premier's heart, ou this line but he finally intimated that lie would endeavor to arrange the matter by bringing on a government sale of lots within thirty days to be. followed by a second auction in the fall. The feeling of the delegation being that if lots are offered at reasonable prices a number of persons' will build houses. Speaking to the Mi nek the Premier announced with reference to the squatters that it was a "dead open and shut game" that the present would be the last occasion upon which squatters rights would receive any consideration whatever. Those V. I*. It. ImiiroYemeufH. The question of town improvements was taken up and it was explained that while, the government had made all the improvements that could reasonably be expected the Canadian Pacific Railway had been remiss in making the amount of improvements which devolved upon them. The railway company it was understood was to spend an amount equal to that expended by the government on improvements, some ,$2100,G0, but up to date it is said the railway company** expenditures do not exceed $500. In this connection the Premier promised to place the matter before the proper O. P. R. officials with a view of having the work done. He will recommend that the sewer up Ward creek receive attention from the railway company. Civfe ttovemiuent. The conversation then drifted upon matters of local government and the question of " incorporation" which has 4.N -E^Jjp^iN . J5. U* developed into a Board of Trade night mare was turned over. The Premier is not a sanguine in corporation ist. _ He has an opinion of his own on this as well as most other matters and he expressed it in the same delibeiate style which characterizes the greater number of his utterances. He favors the election of a local council elected in much the same manner as the five wardens, in which council the Gold Commissioner shall sit. He thinks that such a council could be handled satisfactory in the interests of the town, and the constitution of the body could be legalized by a special act of parliament. County Court Sessions. The inconvenience suffered by the merchants by -.reason of the infrequency i>f the sessions of the county court? were touched upon, and after considerable ���������discussion 'the delegation gathered the impression -from the Premier that he ���������would' endeavor if possible to have sessions of dhe county court held in the district every sixty days at the outside. The BVttj~iScbts Act. The repeal of the Petty Debts act was discussed and the repeal depreciated in by members of the delegation. They explained to the Premier that in view of the fact that the country is over run by all kinds of adventurers and tinhorn merchants and business men from all parts of the globe, the reputable merchants and business men doing business iu the district wanted every protection which the government could throw around them. v^ In reply the Premier stated that while Le had ne\er favored the existance x>i tlie act upon the statutes, from a city standpoint, he could readily understand iht- necessity for such an act in an outlying district like West; Ivooienay, and he also intimated uiaU something ungliu be done toward" pricing a similar act upon the statutes again with reference only to such districts as West Kooveuiiy. Surface flights. - Those who have been troubled o\er surface rights need not give themselves needless alarm. The delegation seemed froui the Premier au mterpi eiacion of the famous Mineral Act Amendment Act. It is on 11 line witu the letter which he wrote to R. E. Lemon some mouths ago. The government does not intend that the ace shall be iu any way retrospective and will not withhold surface rights in the crown grants of any claims which were located prior to April 11, 18,93. The Premier explained that (he misunderstanding was occasioned by a misconstruction placed 1.pun the act by the Assistant Attorney ueneral, in his absence, and the Lands and Works Department. A number of crown grants have been issued under such misunderstanding the crown grants having been withheld but these will be recalled and new crown grants issued in their stead The Premier hiA ibis morning tor Kaslo en route for New Denver and Na- kusp. wheie he wnl see what there is to ace of the country, -."..'

WILD-OAT MAN 17ABEED A neat little, piece of quick work took place in Nelson on Thursday afternoon. During the course of dip day- several business houses were entered by a man w ho after asking the price of half the goods in sight, would make some small purchace. ' c In every case a small check was tendered in payment. The cash above the price or" the goods was paid over, and the man went on his way rejoicing. In the course of his wanderings he strolled into a Baker street store. Selecting a article which struck his fancy, he tendered in payment for the same-a. check on A. W. Wright, the Kaslo mci chant. The check was not large, but the merchant thought it\just as well to make some icquiries regarding funds, ��������� and quietly slipped on'tX and presented the check" at the Bank\of Montreal. The bank people concludeU to look the. matter up, and a little inquiry developed the fact that the check''was, in all probability, a forgery. The\check was returned to the man unpaid. The bank management telephoned to Kaslo, and A. W." Wright c\nuie down to Nelson. In the mean tiuiethVshours had rolled by, and it -was .near tVain .time.

Ottawa, Aug. 15.���������Ducles Samson, the Frenchman who induced several Canadian capitalists to go into a gold mining scheme 5(KJ miles north of the Canadian Pacific railway in the wilds of British Columbia, has been arrested by five Indians Who went in pursuit of him. Arthur Lamierro, one of the victims, accompanied Samson, and when the latter lejirned he was to be accompanied he made for the woods, leaving his wife behind him. Indians were put on his track and ran him down near Black- water, half naked and starving. Lamierro, who arrived in Ottawa to-night, said when Samson understood the situation he threatened to shoot, bur. was overpowered and disarmed. He afterwards escaped to the woods, where he remained until c.ipf ured. Samson lived, in New York ten years ago, and first went to New Orleans, where his record is said to have been bad.

A decision has been reached, at last in the Behring Sea arbitration affairs. As ���������has beeu expected for some lime the decision is favorable to the claims of Great Britain.- On the five, questions submitted for arbitration each ruling was practically against the claims of the United States. Exclusive jurisdiction over- the waters of Behring seas, and the right to protect the fur- seal wherever found in those waters was in substance tne claim of the United States and this has been disallowed. The regulations devised for the future of the sealing business are, not so favorable. They are in brief : 1. That no pelagic sealing is to be allowed within 6*0 miles of the seal islands. 2. That no seals are to be. killed either in the ocean or- Behring sea during May, June and July. Ii. That no firearms are to be used in. killing seals in Belu ing Sea. There is as yet no advice as to just how the seals are to be killed. Pr/Uably they can be rounded up with a dip net.

He did not undertake to say < hat the president was opposed to bimetallism .-or would not give, executive sanction, to the measure to coin silver at a commercial ratio with gold, but he did undertake to say the president's message was most significant for what it failed to say. He undertook to say, with the greatest respect for- the president and .vithout the slightest doubt of his honesty of purpose, that when he failed 10 say one word in respect to bimetallism he. certainly meant that consideration of the question of free coinage of silver-, at any ratio, was so impract icable. that it dm not need executive notice./ The business men of /London, said Senator-Vest, before the' closing of the Indian mints, were pleading with the people of Great Britain in favor of bimetallism as the only sure foundation for lmaucial existence and declaring that silver- really fj/uctuafed much less than gu.d. It was of silver- that b It was legislali'A'n���������legislation in Gei manyanu the''United Srates.

Washington, Aug. 13.���������Before a small audience the silver debate in the house was continued this morning. Wheeler of Alabama, continued his speech; Morse, Republican', of Massachusetts, followed Wheeler. He heartny approved the president's view in regard to the repeal of the, purchasing clause of the Sherman act, though.he believed the present depression was not entirely due to that act. It came from the threats of the Democrats to pass tariff legislation. Harter, Democrat, of Ohio, followed in favor of repeal. He had little controversies with the Republicans, in which he charged the Republican ������>arty with being responsible for the present situation, but eulogized Sherman tor his attitude at "the time of the passage of the law which bears his name. Instead of being abused, Sherman should receive the grateful thanks of the whole people. Harter was followed by Ilendrix Democrat of New York, in favor of the repeal of the Sherman law.

A motion was made authorizing the chairman to introduce a bill to amend the law governing the issue of national bank notes, to permit the issue to the par value of the bonds deposited as security theie- for. This was agreed to, after discussion, by a majority of 2 to 1. Then it wan proposed to authorize the chairman to report a bill to repeal the silver purchase clause of the Sherman law, \vhereupon Vest; of Missouri, is said to have made a speech.denouncing the proposition ! and'notifying its fneuds ttu.t no bill which ignored silver could past the senate. | Under the influence of the remarks of; Senator Vest, the committee unanimously reconsidered its action on the currency action and adjourned. , The Washington, Aug. 13.���������The senate Democratic caucus committee has adjourned till Monday, having failed to agree on any plan of procedure. The fact that the house has agreed and has two weeks of discussion relieves the senate of the necessity for hurry, and probably no settled poiicy will be reached till ��������� near the end of the house discussion. Aug. 14.���������In the senate to-day Senator Voorhees introduced a bill authorizing the issue of national bank notes to the full face value of bonds deposited. The bill was accompanied by a letter from Secretary Carlisle urging its immediate passage. This bill would add $1U,OOU,UUO to" the circulation. It was referred to the finance committee. Numerous petitions on the silver question were presented and referred ana one for the annexation of tne Hawaiian islands, the latter coming from the San Francisco cliamber of commerce. Senator Palmer of Illinois introduced a bill to provide for the erection of a government building at Chicago on the present post office site, to be finished in eighteen months at a cost of four millions. Senator Hill of'.New York introduced a resolution declaring ib to be the sense of the senate that no thing.but financial legislation be undertaken during the present sesssou. I Laid on the table. Senator Vest then addressed the senate on his resolution in favor of bimetallism aud the free coinage of gold and silver. He likened the Sherman act to '��������� a houseless and homeless dog without a kennel to hide his dishonored head," but declared that he would not vote for its repeal without a guarantes^ of silver as a money metal. At a late hour to-night Senator White, member of the steering committee of the- The weal her still continues warm and but few of the peaks and mountain tops in sight show any snow. The number of prospectors passing through on their way to the ranges is steadily increasing. The news from the mountains is most encouraging. The trail up Healy creek will be commenced very soon, and will make a large and most important section of the principal mineral range easy of access from Trout lake. It has been proposed to build a,-trail from the head of the South Fork of the Lardeau to the head of Healy creek, so as to connect the two trails. This matter is, however-, in abeyance for the present, the majority of the settlers and the prospectors being of the opinion that every available dollar appropriated should be reserved for the construction of the wagou road from the Northeast arm to Trout Lake City. A. Abrahamaon .and his partner- returned on Thursday from their claims bringing some fine specimens of ore with them. A. Jenkins, ��������� superintendent' of the Bunker- Hill mine in the Otieur d'Alene mountains, is at the Silver Cup inine for the purchase of which he is now negotiating. A. H. Harrison left town on ;Monday for his claim adjoining the Abbott group. Another strike of nickel was reported yesterday, but no particulars are as yet at hand. Messrs Butler and jJ>icL*=p.r'. members of the Monte Oristo mining company, accompanied by John Kirku'p government agent for the district, and A. Tattle, arrived this morning. -Messrs Butler and Dickson will visit the Great Northern mine to-morrow with the intention of negotiating for its purcease on behalf of the company. The Great Northern, although not a very high grade ore, is so easily worked and reduced, as to be extremely valuable even as compared with most ores giving a much higher assay. Charles Mather-son, one of our best knowu pioneers, reports a strike which is claimed to eclipse anything hitherto discovered. He has placed his stakes upon a new vein of almost solid metal six feet in width, samples of which run 800 ozs in silver- to the ton. Matherson's constitutional smile is 'now broader than ever. Mr. Leroy recently brought down from his new claim samples which average 500 ounces in silver to the ton. j J. O. Piper of the traris-pontine ward I has been suffering for 'some days from j blood poisoning supposed to have been ! caused by some poisonous plantoi-shrub. While not actually serious, it is sufficiently troublesome to call for proper medical treatment, so Piper left this morning for- Revelstoke. Mr. Biackburn is at present sojourning at Thompson's landing. It is probable that he will complete the purchase of several of the claims, which he bonded last year. J. W. Haskins passed .through town this morning on his way to Ins old prospecting ground. He was accompanied by Mr. Thompson the movernment trail inspector, who" is en route for Healy creek. j . Messrs. Butler and. Dickson of the Monte Cristo mining company left town on Monday after their trip up the mountain to the Great Northern claim. They expressed a high opinion of the claim, and iu fact with the country generally. It is probable that the Great Northern will be bonded at an early date. Mr. Jenkins of the Bunker Hill mine has completed his arrangements with regard to the Silver Cup, and intends to have a number of men at work on the property in two or three weeks. He proposes to commence shipping the ore as soon as a suitable amount can be raised to the surface. The Silver Cup lead is of unusual richness, the only apparent drawback being the small width of the vein, 22 inches. It appears, however, to be easily got out auu not refractory. Several specimens of auriferous rock have been brought, in during the week some samples of which assay from 8 to 10 ounces of the precious metal to the ton. One claim is said to run over 12 ounces to the ton, but no regular assay has as yet been made of it. , Some more nickel claims have been located, and several samples of ore have been shipped out with the object, of obtaining estimates of the cost of reduction, etc. The tirst discovery of. nickel ill this district beirrg only some four weeks old, it is not yet known with any degree of certainty whether it will pay to work it in the face of the high transportation rates. It is, however, the opinion of several practical miners that | (tie nickel iu this district, if found iu iany quantity, will eventually become more valuable than the galena. ; Mr. K. E. H.

The fact that the citizens of Nelson have been public spirited enough to erect and equip a hospital is no reasonable excuse for burdening the willing ones with foreign patients. There is just now at our doors a railroad, in course of construction, and as is common in such cases the men employed in the work are taxed to maintain a hospital and corps of attendants. As is also common, the men are not, to say the least, encouraged to remain after they are able to leave the institution. The result has been that of late several applications for admission to the city hospital, coming from men who should have been the wares of the railroad company. r Nice destinctions are made. If a man works only one day he is taxed $1,00 for hospital dues, and if he has quit work an hour he is cut off from the protection for which he has paid. The railroad hospital is a money-making institution for the company, and would be if every man who paid a dollar received a guarantee of care for one month in case of illness during the month for which he paid. While for the sake of humanity these people should be cared for the charge should not fall upon the citizens of Nelson and the district.

IN TRYING TIMES. Many years ago a celebrated political pamphleteer said to the American people, in the midst of a life and death struggle, "These be the times which try men's souls." The wheels of time have revolved ma.,y times since then, and again we have reached, the "times which try men's souls"under a strain often harder to bear than the bat- . v ties of those olden days. In the midst of the crash of financial in- situtions and the stagnation of business, the busy wheels of manufacture have often ceased to hum, and the clink of the miners hammer is heard no more in sections where it has not been, stilled before in years. Vast regions are threatened with total collapse after years of vigorous prosperity. All of this has of course combined to render the people of this region uneasy from the fear that sooner or later the gen- eral'and widespread panic will reach here and the loss of the toil of years will be the result. There is no section in western America that has less to really fear than has the town of Nelson and the surroimdiug country. There are certain meta.'s Avhich tho progress of civilization render more and more valuable each year. Of these copper is ony of the highest in rank. No other mejial serves so well in the manifold uses'' ���������--ib which it is put in connection with the ever increasing application of electricity. The uses of lead are too well known to need recapitulation. Gold, just now especially, is a handy thing to have in the house. Those who are familiar with the resources of the country around Nelson and those who read the Miner of July 15th are aware that within a radius of 15 miles from this point can be found all of these desirable minerals iu large and permanent quantities. Inmost cases a few hundred ounces of silver go with each two of the ore, andAihis might, as a speculation be saved in the form of bullion until the world of finance recovers from its fit of temporary insanity. The copper in the Toad mountain mines, especially the Hall mines group, will keep that property going in any event short of a fine for nroducing silver. The possibilities of the gold belt of this section are hardly known yet, but every irjdication would point toward the supposition that frum the south side of Toad mountain comes the gold which has formed miles of rich placer ground along the Salmon river and its tributaries. A nur.iber of good gold leads have been located in this belt. Some of them have been worked and are now valuable properties. "With Tvoper development Nelson can run at> a prosperous .town simply as a supply point for the country immediately surrounding it. While it is not reasonable to suppose that all the rich country known as west Kootenay has no hopes for the future, that the Slocan with its untold millions is a deal better, yet it is comforting to know that even in such an event Nelson can yet feel assured of a bright and successful future. If all other hopes should fail she can " Crusoe like" draw from her own surroundings the material from which to shape the foundations of a lasting prosperity. Those who have cast their lot in with the future of Nelson have good cause to congratulate themselves on their sound judgment when they contrast the possibilities of their future with this town and the other sections of this region on both sides of the line. ' THE SILVER AGITATION._ ��������� The messages of Urover Cleveland the present financial situation in the United States has probably been more thoroughly discussed than any state paper issued since the emancipation .proclamation. The friends and. foes of silver alike seem willing to acknowledge the force and directness of the manner in which a most difficult matter is handled. Though there is much in the message that will be sharply, questioned by the western friends of silver,there can be no doubt but that there is also much that is worthy of calm and careful consideration. One fact that must not be overlooked is that President Cleveland is open and above-board in his methods, and his expressed opinion can be taken as final. There will be no reserved blow concealed under the silky platitudes of the professional politician. The real struggle will be in the house, and between the house, and senate. In the house there has been as yet nothing that would furnish material for any valuable or reliable prediction as to the temper of the members. So far though the ar.angement of the methods of proceed- ure on the debates is considered favorable to the silver cause. It is also con- ceeded that those who have the free coinage cause in hand have taken the strongest position possible under the circumstances. In the senate the feeling is more pronounced. There is little douba but that the majority in this body are in favor of friendly legislation for silyer. Several of the most eloquent and influential of the senators have already placed themselves on record in no uucertain way, and the opinion has been freely expressed by the Eastern press that no positive rinti-silver legislation will receive the sanction of the senate. ��������� The whole matter of the preliminary skirmishing will probably turn on the question of the unconditional repeal of the Sherman purchase law. The friends of silver fear, and justly, that if they "permit an unconditional repeal their chances of successfully passing a subsequent and satisfactory substitute will be small. They will therefore endeavor to introduce a bill that will cover both a repeal of the present law and a substitute. As to the nature of this substitute it is difficult to judge at present. It will probably bo in the nature of a compromise, as the forces are too evenly divided to hope, for the granting of more than part of what the silver men would like to have. In this compromise the question of a value ratio will be the leading one. The war cry of the west has been "16 to 1" but if free coinage is finally secured it will be at some lower ratio than that. Judging by the present outlook 18 to 1 or 19 to 1 is about the best that can be hoped for. This would bring silver up to about.90c other conditions remaining the same as before the recent drop. Allowing that the stimulus of this price would result in increased production the fixed ratio would maintain that value no matter how fictitious it might be as compared with the actual value given by supply and demand. As to the ores IN A NEW FORM. "While the newspapers in surrounding towns are numbered among the things that were, or are sending out such fitful gleams of light as to indicate the failing fires of despair, the Mineb, firm in the belief that the future of Nelson is sufficiently bright to warrant it, appears this week in a new dress and and an enlarged form. A fully equipped power press has taken the place of the old time Gordon upon which " ye pressman,,'' has been wont to register his weekly kick. Every effort will be made to maintain the Mineb in its recognized position, as the authority, mining and general, pertaining to this section. It is believed that this effort on the part of the management will meet the approval of both the business men of the town, and the public generally, as a better medium for both advertising and news is thus furnished. The present number has a special interest in as much as it is the first sheet published on a steam press in the Kootenay District.

Manager of this section there need be but little fear of an adverse protective, clause in the legislation. The producers of silver are not doing the law making just now. The smelter men are really far more powerful, and they and the railroad men will scarcely allow the passage of any measure calculated to cut off a constant source of revenue like the handling of the production of our mines. To sum the situation up in a few words the friends of silver have cause to feel hopeful. The tone of congress is favorable, and a satisfactory outcome may be looked for even though all that is asked may not be granted. It is not to be believed that steps will be taken which will practically kill a vast section of the United States, and while one silver mine can run in that country, the rich deposits in this section can successfully compete with it. The question with this country is not so much the price of silver as transportation, and we can abide the decision on silver with a feeling of greater security than any of the western state8 to-d^y. I eer Press. BIMETALLISM. Just at the present time the word " bimetallism" is being used to an.extent perhaps never known before in the history of finance. It is being used with an abandon and freedom of interpretation that would fill a foreigner with fresh admiration at the elasticity of the English language. At one moment we are told that " bimetallism is doomed" in another that the safety of the financial world depends upon its recognition, all of which leads to a consideration of the word as a word and some of the many shades of meaning which have been given to it. Bimetallism, in most economic discussions, means the free use on equal terms of gold and silver as money at a ratio of coinage fixed by law. It would apply to any other metals as well, but it is strictly limited to these. In this meaning, which is a logical and definite one, bimetallism is a theory whose feasibility and desirability are stoutly defended by eminent authorities. In this meaning the United States has stood firmly by bimetallism, and stands there yet; for we have been and are not only willing but desirous to join the other nations af the world in any agreement that will accomplish the fixing of a relation between gold and silver according to which they may be minted on equal terms. But in this sense, we must remember also, bimetallism does not exist in any one of the great commercial nations, the United States included. And that kind of bimetallism can be ''doomed" only as a possibility, since it is found nowhere as a fact. It is probable, however, that not one person in a hundred uses the word with this fixed application, or has any clearer understanding of it than as applying to some sort of concurrent use of gold and silver as money. Thus limited circulation and mintage of iilver, at a given ratio, would be held to make a currency bimetallic; and in this sense every one of tne principal nations has adopted bimetallism, since all include silver coins in their money of use. In this sense the United States is strongly bimetallic, and would continue to be so if the Sherman law were repealed to-morrow. The currency of this country contains of silver or its representatives, silver certificates or treasury notes issued against silver bullion, more than $530,000,000. This is probaby equal to the whole amount of gold in the United States, and such a constitution makes a currency mathematically if not economically bimetallic. If the Sherman law were repealed, and it were sure that no other silver would be issued, this would continue to circulate without depreciation ; and this is a very real and sensible bimetallism. The silver cranks, for their part, have sedulously limited the employment of the word to the free coinage of silver and gold at a ratio of 15i to 1. It is needless to add that they have no possible warrant for this. But it will tend to the absence of much confusion and the promotion of clear thinking if all who read and especially those who write shall make the word " bimetallism " significant of something more than a vague scheme of currency in which gold and silver both appear, but on undecided and indefinite terms.���������St Paul Pion- MEDICAL.

jdiargi's.
t L good deal is being said just now
rout the railroad' hospital and its
(ethods of carrying on business. The
��� Ik was occasioned in the first place by
/ ie result of an accident.
J. Win. Grant had been engaged in chop-
"A'lXg ties for one of t he contractors. He
|. been paid for- his work and was
|dng to another locality for the pur-
p of getting out irror-e ties. Another
,��g was moving at the same time and
Int was offered the chance to have
���'tools and baggage transported in a
i; provided he would engineer the
ile attached to the same,
rant's story runs to the effect that
Si bargain was struck and he and the
I* mule departed gaily. On the way
A'ever the mule made a slip, while en-
jed in meditation, and the, cart was
'rtui-ned. Grant, and the contents of
?s cart became slightly mixed up, and
|ien he emerged from the pile of axes,
|id scrapers, etc., he found two or three
��s the worse for wear.
|Vs Grant had just paid his hospital
K he applied to that institution for re-
|ii-s, Dr. Titus patched him up offend, told him his ribs were not broken
|t dislocated from the socket. He
. irther informed him so Grant says,
that in view of the fact that he was not
in the employ of the company while in
transit, he could not be received at the
hospital. Grant managed in some way
to get to town and Dr. La Bau attended to his injuries. ��� A
Grant is. now.as easy as could be expected but very indignant over his treatment, He states that lie will take legal
'vdvice and if possible recover damages
:oni the company.
jOn the other hand Dr. Titus claims
that the '���man was" not entitled to treatment but that, he was attended to just
' he same and did riot apply for- 'further
-real men I for an injury which was slight
in the first place. .
The doctor- objects to the charge of being-brutal, and claims that he is especially careful of t he patients unde his eya.
A general invitation is extended to the
public to visit 1 he railroad hospital and
see for themselves.
r This is the usual talk arid goes for-
a what it is worth, but the facA remains
fthat men who pay for the care in such
an institution have a right to ask for
somejietur-n for money invested in the
monthly'dues. They may be getting it
and they niay not, but when the patients that should be.in that institution
applyji'o:-permission to become public
charges in the city hospitals, we all have
a right to ask questions as to the wherefore, c

Wasliburn, secretary. The appeal say.- Sn part: Unconditional repeal of the present silver law will at once stop all im-re^e in currency, place the country on a single gold standard, and at one strnke change all debts to gold debts, with the ���������certainty that, gold will thereafter oon- TJ?n������e to increase in value at an accilei- ���������ateo! rate. The appeal then comments on the present financial disturbance and asks: "Can this condotion be improved by shutting off the money supply and still fnrtber rest) icting the volume of cur- While we cannot-secure an, absolutely honest dollar-, we should .approach it as nearly as possible, and a bimetallic standard ought to be airljiptedi'because with bimetallism the money unit Hue tnates less than under the single standard.

It is a time when more money amd not less is needed. There is work, "but no monev to pay for it. The appeal then calls upon the. people (everywhere to turn aside party diifervn- rces and to .assemble, "as our fathers did of old," and pass resolnt ions calling upon their representatives and senators in congress to resist repeal of the present silver law, unless coupled'with a provision restoring free coinage of gold and silver as it existed under- the law prior- to passing "t5ie fraudulent act of 1S73." The appeal recommends reading the ���������Chicago silver convention platform at sill assent blages, the writing of let t r-s to representatives and senators', and in feet' make :i vigorous campaign against appeal.

"When the committee adjourned all 2iad been substantially agreed upon. hut the verbiage of the bill. At. the. meeting" to-day a draft of a declaration for bimetallism was submitted, which favors the continuance of the use of both gold and silver ,to the extent of aexisting coinage, as an unlimited legal tender, and declares that all our forms oof i/ioney, whether gold, silver or paper- should be maintained at a parity and ���������equal in purchasing power.

Bryan of Nebraska addressed the house in favor of free coinage. The effort is considered tin- Hio.-it brilliant of the campaign up to date. Some of the leading points are as follows. The effects of our action may be far- reaching. If the United States, ihe great est .silver producing country, abandons silver, it will in all probabiliny lead in the annihilation of silver as a standard money throughout the world. The only law making any provision, for- the increased use'of silver money is the Sherman law. The president recom- ancnded its unconditional repeal. Democratic members are under- no obligation to adopt his recommendation, s nee they are responsible to their constituents only, and are in duty bound to protect their rights and regard their- inter ne Thai KrKHajct" In (he benuliTuT, chaste and breezy language for- which the free American press is so justly celebrated, the western papers are jni-t, now remarking that the president's message is hardly satisfactory. In this connection the Denver Mining Journal man draws a deep breath and remarks: "D���������n Cleveland; D���������n the message! The president is the biggest, liar in the United States. Cleveland is a traitor to this country ��������� uid should he impeached, tried, and hanged. The Western Democrat more mildly but quite as significantly exclaims. "President Cleveland has evidently finished his fishing and gone gunning for silver- men. He won't have to hunt far for- hiVganie." ' Butte Inter Mountain:���������If the pres- ment will issue one more message against silver- the quotation may be expected to reach at least SO cents. Helena, Herald:���������We doubt whether a more scandalous state paper was ever .ssued in the history of the republic than :hat which President Cleveland addressed to the Fifty-third congress on its assembling in extraordinary session.
